Strangely enough, the render involved a character asset I'd never used before.I've had something similar to this before. Every scene I tried to render would cause my system to out of RAM and VRAM then freeze/crash Daz. All characters (previously made and even base Genesis 8.1 figures) were loading with a subD level of 5; even if you opened a character, changed back to subD 3, saved then reloaded, it would be set at level 5 again.
It turned out to be a bugged character that was causing all others to load at subD 5. It took a while to find which one it was, but after the character was deleted everything was defaulting to SubD 3 again and Daz was no longer crashing.
I'd also loaded another asset's skin onto him. I'm assuming that was the issue.
I never used him again and it hasn't happened since.
I only CPU render as I use a 2018 Mac Mini with just 16Gb of RAM.
